LANSING
– Good
morning, Capitol City. It's Monday, September 16, 2013 and we hope you had a
great weekend today. This is the Lansing Rundown, your daily look at stories
we're working on and a look back at the weekend's news.

"Holden
Lifers", and an alcohol-free tailgate highlight tradition of MSU Football
weekend — On a typical fall football weekend
in East Lansing, there are various sights, sounds, and tons of tailgates. This
past Saturday, MLive checked out two very
different tailgates.

Michigan
fan uses friendly skies to taunt MSU – Prior to
the MSU/Youngstown State game on Saturday, a skywriter, and apparent University
of Michigan fan, decided to leave a
special message over Spartan Stadium. In a humorous twist, while MSU
handily dispatched with their opponent, Michigan narrowly escaped another embarrassing
upset against Akron.

Spartans
enter Top 25 – With their victory on Saturday,
MSU entered the USA Today Coaches Poll for the first time this season,
ranked No. 24. The Spartans face their first major test of the season this
Saturday against Notre Dame in South Bend.

That's the way it is for this Monday
morning. Be sure to check back with MLive
Lansing for more news throughout the day. Make sure to follow us
